People simply need a way to be looked at as equals under God. They convert to christianity for this main reason. But the Brahmins will claim that they converted for 'rice bags'. Its still a widely used slur in India while referring to converted christians.
A better off dalit is still a dalit. Thats the point. The society will discriminate against you in all ways possible. Right from job applications to finding a partner
- cma 6y ago> People simply need a way to be looked at as equals under God. Christianity doesn't seem like a great choice then since it teaches God will burn all non-Christians eternally in Hell.
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoThis is a belief that is associated with Christianity, but doesn't have a lot of support in the scriptures.
- naruvimama 6y agoThe term "rice bags" is not from India but from the west where poor natives who are easily converted with small incentives are termed "rice bowl/bag" christians, meaning they are not true christians. There used to be some kind of exclusivity in being a christian in India. This might no longer true. I am from Chennai where Christianity has spread rapidly in recent years, a christian doctor who died of covid had to be cremated in a Hindu cemetery because of conflicts between the different christian denominations. This has been the case in the North-east of India for several years now, since they are more than 80% christian.
